I agree with your assessment here but have no idea what the right way is. Clearly the Dems think it’s by going to the courts but it makes me nervous. Would love to hear what you think? My perspective has always been Democracy will inexorably slide into dictatorship

there is no "right way" from here. There is only winning or dying. A new birth of liberty will require a third founding, and like the first two, it can only come out of blood. Follow me for more cheerful takes like this!

I was always struck by the fact that it seemed Sulla was much more willing to dismiss the norms of the Republic in service of a return to the ways of the past, whereas the Gracchi tried to bring a revolution within the rules of the system, and were killed for it.

What's even crazier is how it then happened in reverse with Ceasar (who tried to force the state into his own, new shape, and was murdered) and Augustus (who carefully twisted precedent to build a stealth dictatorship out of republican norms, and was beloved).

1. would argue that given the way the founders Weighted their creation , it has reached its highest form of expression of minority rule under the republicans. Beyond the electoral college , beyond the massive voter suppression and Gerrymandering..

There is now the Supreme Court as a bulwark against any popular democratic change. The US is screwed for at least a generation now. Minority rule of an elite group. Just as the founders intended

Unfortunately, there are enough voters who are like my son when he was 5 and still thought it was a real game and the Generals had a chance of winning.

My stepdad played for the generals when I was that age and I remember being super bummed when they lost. The transition to being a Democrat was easy.
